We are getting toward the end of the 6 Volume set of theBrisbane 2009 All Tomorrows Parties.This time we have a sublime performance from the necks.I am very happy to hear this since I missed the first 2 acts.One of my bands to see is the necks, they are unparalleledanywhere in the world and as so are at the forefront ofAustralian innovative music. A single meandering trackhighlighting Chris Abrahams genius and indeed the entireband, this is my kind of music, pure improvisation.Of course this is a wonderful recording, the crowd are notat their later raucous levels or numbers and its easy to listento this and be transported back to the bright summersafternoon when it was played.Kind of an odd band perhaps for a bright sunny day but I'msure they pulled it off. Many thanks again to Brisbane greatestaudio historian Chuck.Now off to bed for me for tomorrow night I see Leonard Cohen.

thanks for this very nice to have . i was there on the day & for my money the necks were easily ... easily the best act , next best was j.b;ood.ulmer ... mind you i left 1/2 way through the saints who i've loved since '78 but my expectations were low & i really shoulda known better. ... no more reunions PLEASE !!!! nice blog though , top work indeed
